description

This is a study on “Coconut Husk Fiber in Cation Exchange for Water Softening: Performance and Equipment Design” It has focused on the optimized design of a cation exchange system that employs coconut husk fiber (CHF), a low-cost and organic adsorbent material, as medium for ion exchange.
